About GEH

• Addresses the fundamental mechanisms by which environmental exposures combine with genetic susceptibility to influence risk of complex human diseases and disorders.
• Builds on evolving knowledge in the fields of genomics and epigenomics to understand mechanisms that act at the interface of genes and environment to influence gene activity and phenotype.
• Emphasizes laboratory-based studies in model systems at the cellular, organ and system level.

Associated Programs

• Autism Research
• Environmental Epigenetics
• Neurodegenerative Diseases
• Oceans and Human Health
• Roadmap Epigenomics Mapping Consortium
• Virtual Consortium for Translational/Transdisciplinary Environmental Research (ViCTER)
